Does it work if you use Word 2002 as you message format and embed the sound
using the Web Tools toolbar?

| True enough that "active" emails are annoying sometimes but some

|
| I use native Outlook, not Word. I have tried to put the sound file,
| along with the associated *.html and image file, in the following
| locations:
|
| C:\PROGRAM FILES\COMMON FILES\MICROSOFT SHARED\STATIONERY
|
| C:\DOCUMENTS AND SETTINGS\( my username )\APPLICATION
| DATA\MICROSOFT\STATIONERY
|
| ( Also, both of the above paths with D:\ substituted because that is
| the actual location of the XP installation. The recipient's
| installation is on C:\. )
|
| No matter where I put them on my machine they work when I send a test
| email to myself. No matter where I put them on my machine they DON'T
| work on the recipients computer.
|
| Yes, I have verified that their HTML settings in their Outlook
| installation are correct.
|
| However, you mentioned "scripting, etc. turned off." Where would that
| setting be in Outlook?
|
| Also, the scripting is obviously working because the scrolling border
| does work on the recipient's computer. In addition, in reading the
| *.html file for the associated scrolling border and sound file I see
| that the sound file is called before scripting even starts. There is
| no mention of the sound file in the script. Scripting is used only
| for the scrolling border. The scrolling border works as advertised.
| The sound file does not. I am assuming that the sound file, when it
| arrives at the destination, is not being copied to the correct folder
| on the recipient's computer so I guess my question really is, "How do
| I get it to copy to the correct destination folder on the recipient's
| end? Also, what should the correct destination folder be?"

|| Good common sense, if you ask me. I personally find these types of
|| mail annoying and summarily delete them.
||
|| However, on to your problem. What message format are you using to

|

|| the referenced file for the sound residing? Finally, have you
|| confirmed that your recipients are capable of receiving HTML mail or
|| if they have scripting, etc. turned off?

||| Hello,
|||
||| Outlook 2k
|||
||| When I send an email message with a scrolling border and a sound
||| file then the scrolling border and sound file will play on my
||| machine if I send a test email to myself. When I send this same

|||
||| What is going on?
|||
||| Thank you in advance for responses. :-)
